Capturing the Time: What was it that made the 1977-78 year different from all the others? What made this year special? It was the fads, the crazes, the styles that everyone was wearing, movies ev- eryone was seeing, and music to which everyone was listening. This was the year of boots and boot-toppers, long sweaters, and rolled-up jeans. It was the year of gauches, the layered look, and feath- ered hair. This year brought us “Star Wars,” Rocky, and “Smokey and the Ban- dit.” It was a year filled with con- certs, by Kiss, Styx, Fog hat and Nazereth. Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt, Ted Nugent and Foreigner all made impressions in our musical world this year. We rocked to Queen, dreamed with Steve Miller, and danced to the disco sounds of Donna Summer, Heatwave, and K.C.’s Sun- shine Band. 1977-78 was “the V.I.,” the Pizza Hut, and “thick and chewy's.” Whenever we got the munchies,” or had a “Big Mac Attack,” we’d rush to MacDonalds. This year we idolized the Fonze and the Sweathogs, and whenever possible we followed the plot of “Soap . Everyone dreamed of driving a Corvette or a Trans Am.
